Republican Congressman All Over Danny Glover

Scientists have recently discovered that a complex chemical reaction takes places when Hollywood filmmakers start working with certain communist regimes, producing a pheromone that drives obstreperous Republicans wild. Fred Thompson couldn't leave Michael Moore alone. And now Florida's Republican congressman Connie Mack is all over Dannny Glover for agreeing to make some movies for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (one about Toussaint Louverture, who led an 18th century revolt in Haiti, and another about South American revolutionary hero Simon Bolivar). "Danny Glover should refuse to accept Hugo Chavez's tainted movie deal and instead work with legitimate enterprises, investors and financiers who value freedom, treasure our nation and who won't climb into bed with renegade communist dictators," Mack told the Hollywood Reporter, also saying: "To turn to an avowed enemy of the U.S., and someone who in his own right has snuffed out dissent and free speech, for movie financing smacks of radicalism and opportunism run amok."

Radicalism and opportunism run amok? Mack obviously hasn't done much business in Hollywood.
